A Fairer London: The 2011 Living Wage in London

This is the seventh annual report on the London Living Wage. The 2011 revised wage is £8.30 per hour, a 5.7 per cent increase on 2010 and a 24 per cent increase since its introduction in 2005.

This is the largest increase since its introduction and reflects the rising cost of living and changes to the benefits and tax credits system.

There are now over 3,000 employees working for companies with contracts from the GLA Group benefitting from the London Living Wage and 12 major employers are newly signed up to paying the London Living Wage.
